the ppp interface (and general renaming/transitioning of interfaces)

[Jenny Murphy]

Hi,
 Just about this ppp interface.
I would like to use it from the snap I have developed myself.
So how to I invoke it ?
At the moment I am calling the command line pppd from my snap java code.
However I think I should be doing something different to invoke ppp from
within the core snap ?
I am not asking about use of ppp in general, I have plently of experience
with that. It is the use of ppp in the containerized format that I ask
about.

Here is the sort of denials I am getting :

Time: Feb 20 10:20:44
Log: apparmor="ALLOWED" operation="exec" profile="snap.gateway.main"
name="/usr/sbin/pppd" pid=10089 comm="java" requested_mask="x"
denied_mask="x" fsuid=0 ouid=0 target="snap.gateway.main//
null-/usr/sbin/pppd"
File: /usr/sbin/pppd (exec)
Suggestions:
* adjust snap to ship 'pppd'
* adjust program to use relative paths if the snap already ships 'pppd'

Thanks in advance for any help.
Jenny
